Long John Silver's has introduced its first alcoholic beverage, a bock beer brewed with its signature malt vinegar to celebrate the end of Lenten season. 

Long John Silver's has partnered with Louisville brewery, Shippingport Brewing Company, in the creation of this Lenten beer. 

"The crew at Shippingport Brewing Company represented the perfect opportunity to work with a local independent company to create a unique product for our guests to enjoy this Lenten season," says Christopher Caudill, senior vice president, marketing and innovation, Long John Silver's. 

"When this idea was brought to our team, we jumped at the opportunity to give back to our community," says Amelia Pillow, founder, Shippingport Brewing Company. "When opening this business in 2021, my goal was to grow interest in the area, creating a space where people could swing by for a beer and engage with their peers right in their backyard. Adding Swashbockler to our inventory further drives that goal of supporting and promoting Louisville-based businesses." 

Long John Silver's Swashbockler is available on draft at Shippingport Brewery and Sallyforth Taproom in Louisville and may make appearances at beer festivals over the summer.
